Abstract
Lacrimal gland choristoma occurs in cases with a failure in migration of any portion of the lacrimal secretory apparatus. It is a rare conjunctival tumor. The authors report the clinical and histopathologic features of a conjunctival lacrimal gland choristoma. A 34-year-old woman presented with a pinkish conjunctival mass in the left eye that had been present since birth. The lesion was removed by excisional biopsy and the histopathologic findings were consistent with conjunctival lacrimal gland choristoma. Clinically, these tumors resemble conjunctival hemangioblastoma, lymphangioma, or a lymphoid infiltrate. Its presence since birth, temporal epibulbar location, and pink solid appearance can help in the differential diagnosis.
